Asiana Airlines will launch ten additional mileage-exclusive flights to the United States this summer, offering frequent flyers more chances to redeem miles during the peak travel season. The promotion covers routes to Los Angeles, New York, and Honolulu, operating between July and September.
Reservations open at 5 p.m. Pacific Time on May 19, and all seats will initially be available exclusively for mileage redemption. This marks the second such release this year, following six mileage flights offered in March for travel between April and June.
“This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing customer benefits and expanding flexibility in our mileage program,” the airline said.
